But zebra-pj is until now a patch pure collection. It even has no
"releases" so that an admin can not decide if the applied patches
are all considered minor and stable or if there came a highly
experimental patch just yesterday night into the CVS. Of course there's
a Changelog but some kind of release is always a hint that at least the
author who knows the patches considers them as stable.
For a mission critical server as a router would be admins tend be quite
conservative.
The other problem is that I was not successfull in contacting the
current zebra maintainer to coordinate with him. I cc him, too, maybe
he's back from holiday/whatever and gives his opinion on this issue.
